Genre (s) Racing game

Micro Machines is a racing game series based on a toy series of the same name by the manufacturer Codemasters , the first part of which was published in 1991. The player can choose one of eleven different drivers to take part in the game. The fleet consists not only of cars, but also of racing cars, tanks, helicopters and motor boats that are steered from above . The vehicles are very small in relation to their surroundings, which explains the name of the game. There are no classic racetracks, but everyday places on which the races are held, such as a bathtub, a desk or a pool table.

Gameplay

The game offers two ways in which the twenty racetracks can be won. In the first variant, only two players take part. As soon as a player has a certain lead over the other player, he gets a point, if he has enough of them, he has won the race. In the second variant, all four players compete and drive three laps per race track. Only those who take first or second place can take part in the next race. Each racetrack is always assigned a specific vehicle.
